One bite was about all he was willing to concede and went back to instead prodding his food with just an edge of irritation. "As I say, I should hardly expect you to comprehend anything about purity or divinity, being what you are. Frankly I am surprised weapons can even function so very detached from their past." he raised a brow. "Presumably you ran from something to give up what you had and become a weapon, I sincerely doubt you were anything like as wonderful as you seem to give yourself credit for"
Melvin got a smile for his comment. "Thank you, I'm glad someone understands the effort which goes into keeping white clothing white, especially when one has a disability which makes even eating food precarious at best. It is a never ending battle." the other man was a good person and deserved better than the frankly unpleasant weapon he had been saddled with.
"I don't think I will be going back to Russia." he said. "I think that ship has sailed. As for when I will be well enough for missions, I would say I was always fit for missions, but if people want to keep me here, who am I to argue?"

"Oh. You here that Mel? I'm so tragic. A runaway from my past. Boo-hoo." She brought up one fist to make rub at one eye as she leaned her weight into Melvin's side.
"Saliva. I'm trying to get, please." He sighed as she continued to lean on him.
"Come on. It's not like you can make me sick or something." She sat back up and adjusted her headpiece.
"I guess it's easy to keep things white when eating isn't a problem for you. Is that why you won't eat one of these....things? Afraid you'll stain your shirt?"
"It's caprese. Tomato and spinach and mozzarella cheese with an balsamic sauce." He guild her but it was clear she could care less.
"Donthey not need you in Russia anymore? Will you be assigned to another location?" Melvin asked, hopeful to have Jan home more often.

Lawrence rolled his eyes, more and more inclined to simply snub Saliva and refuse to address any more of her comments.
"Presumably I was replaced." he said. "And who knows?"
He stood up, shaking his head. "You'll have to excuse me Melvin. I am afraid your weapon is far too rude for me to endure."

Melvin shot up. "Jan, wait. She is just being ehat she is. Stay here. This is your home. Saliva, can you leave so we can eat."
She looked at him, glaring before she shot up. "As if he will but go on pampering him. Maybe he'll drop in the tub later. " she went past Melvin and went to sit at his desk and flip trough a few magazines Melvin borrowed for her entertainment. Better she read it than him to her.
Sitting back down, he gestured for Jan to sit. "Sorry. It's just what she is."

Lawrence still looked like an indignant cat, all haughty stiff posture, turned slightly away from Melvin and Saliva.
He didn't leave but nor did he sit.
"I never realised you had to contend with so much hatred in your head so much of the time. It's uncomfortable to think that she has been commenting on all the earnest things I've said to you and was privy to how we feel about one another and yet remains so ignorant."

Melvin stopped eating, watching Jan in hopes he would eventually sit.
"It's just the way she is and I can tune it out if she gets too awful. In the end she just wants what is best for me I think. She just gets upset when I don't go with someone she feels I deserve but that's her taste, not mine. It'a why doing this helps. Gets her out of my head for a while. We both need the break. Don't you think having your weapon out sometimes helps?"
He leaned back, scooting his chair, and patted his lap. Maybe he could offer this seat instead.

Much like a cat Lawrence could rarely say no to an offered lap. "Not really." he said "Butch is better where he is."
He made his way over and sat possessively in the other man's lap. "It gets a little too quiet without him and he's just prone to trouble."
Unfortunately having Lawr in your lap was a little bony.

Despite the jabbing bones in his legs, he wrapped his arms around the other and leaned his brow against him. "I watch Saliva. A weapon that knows so much about you isn't good to wander or leave unattended. She gets too high on her freedom and runs wild. I don't think I'd mind if she was out of my head for a while. I miss just being able to think without feeling someone react to everything. I miss privacy." He squeezed Jan's slender frame. "It would make me a little normal I think to not have anyone else but me here, but I guess she just comes off as like, another type of voice. Not reason or morals or anything like that. Just something else."
He didn't know how to best explain it.
"I'm glad you are staying a bit. Place gets empty without you."

"I'm glad you keep an eye on her, but she is frankly unruly." he looked away from the abominable thing and closed his eyes against Melvin.
<> He didn't answer Butch much of the time.
"I keep Butch where he is, he can't do any damage inside my mind. I am doing the world a favour by keeping him there."
<> Butch suggested sagely flashing vivid imagery of teeth about a throat in the pale man's thoughts. He simply kept his eyes closed like a contented and lazy cat.
"As long as you don't take what she says too seriously that's fine. I'd feel uncomfortable being close to you if I thought you were always listening to a very insidious and opposing voice. It would feel like I was a fool trusting someone who only wanted to hurt or shame me."
